With some bollywood corniness thrown on the side..

An awesome film. I really enjoyed it, although the ending was a bit too "disney" with everything coming together for my depressing soul.

I haven't read the book, but people have told me it's a lot of grittier...as well, I don't think the jumping in the toilet scene translates well in a movie. It just looked cartoonish!

And yup, Freida Pinto was absolutely gorgeous. *bites fist, I need to marry a woman that looks like that* Nice to finally a see a darker hued Indian woman in a lead role for once.

I found M.I.A.'s music a bit annoying, but I guess it fit the film...the cinematography and pacing were great.

Good work Danny..
